have you tried changing the "Target" line in the properties dialog for the
icon to this:

"C:\Program Files\R\rw1090\bin\Rgui.exe" HOMEPATH=\path\to\normal\R\workdir

I can also start 1.8.1 and 1.9.0 properly in a similar way to that described
here by Vinyard, by typing the following at the command prompt or from a
batch file.

SET HOMEPATH=\
"C:\Program Files\R\rw1090\bin\Rgui.exe"

However, both 1.8.1 and 1.9.0 still fail in the usual way when started from
the program icon (I have confirmed, by SET, before and after failing that
HOMEPATH is properly set). I observe the same behaviour when HOME=C:\ is
set.
